Chapter 3(part 2)- A mystery…
Poor James!! He looks torn between trying to explain the situation to Lily and finding out what Dove really wanted. Did Dove actually like him?! Oh Marlin!! (Someone want to tell me how to actually spell that?)
"Here", Dove heard a voice whisper in her ear, a calm peaceful voice, yet filled with mischief. She looked behind and saw Sirius had hold out his hand for her.
She raised an eyebrow. "Thanks," she mumbled as she let him pull her up. "Is this your way of apologizing for last night, the welcome back dinner?"
"No, why should I apologize when I enjoyed every moment of it?" Sirius smirked at her.
Dove narrowed her eyes, wrinkled her eyebrows a bit before spitting out: "You! You! You despicable ….You despicable annoying creature!" She screamed at him. You can see she was mad; her eyes were darker than a normal shade of Black!! One more level of annoyance, and it'll turned to a deep shaped of red instead.
James had stopped trying to apologize and was looking at Dove with surprised.
Dove noticed, glared at him with a 'what!' look, and stormed out of the Griffindor tower with Lily trailing behind her saying: " What's wrong? Wait up!!"
"Hey, mate! What did you do?" James asked Sirius.
"Nothing" he's face was filled with honesty and confusion. 'What had he done?' He thought, 'nothing different from ever before…'
"Well, whatever you did sure got her pretty mad. I've never seen her like that before. Not even when you were actually trying to make her mad." Stated Remus.
"You hardly knew her! Mooney, I can make her mad whenever I want to! How would you know anyways?" Sirius retreated.
"I might happened to know since I'm actually her friend unlike you. And the fact that I always end up next to you when you get her mad. Ending up trying to calm her down, when Lily's not around?" Remus replied, picking up a book.
"Well… when did you two become friends anyways? How could anyone be friends with her is way beyond me. And sarcasm is not always wanted." Sirius answered.
"Actually, they've become close friends in the beganinng of second year." Peter added, wanted to be included in their conversation.
"Who asked you?" Sirius turned to Peter, "and how would you know?"
"Don't go picking on Peter just because you're mad. Dove is basically friends with everyone. You should know that. While everyone that can look beyond her looks, and not be jealous of her all the time. She's a nice girl!" Remus said, not looking up as he stared at the book he picked up earlier. "Interestin…"
"What's your point? Remus, please don't tell me you like her!! I can't have one of my best friends fall in love with the likes of her!! "Sirius was afraid all of a sudden, not sure of the horror of them dating or something else…
"Mooney, what's interesting?" James said ignoring his best-friend for once. Sirius was being unfair to Dove and he knew it.
"This book. It's on the history of the wizard society -- the Royal Family." Remus said.
"Oh, I think I've met the Royal Family once , like when I was 4. When Black was still a very acceptable family." Sirius said thinking back.
"Not really my point." Mumbled Remus, " As I was saying, there's only 3 copies of this book, none in Hogwart saddly. 1. belong to the Royal Family, and the other 2 are supposed lost forever." Despit filled up his voice.
"Oh! I saw one before! Once within the safe, the treasure of the Black Family." Sirius spat at the word 'Black'. "I even asked what a book was doing there and got scolded by my mother." Hatred filled his voice on the thoughts of his mother.
"You;ve seen one?!" Remus all of a sudden seemed very interested. "Do you know how much it's worth?"
"Yeah, actually I do, I'm not stupid!" Sirius replied, annoying at the fact that Remus might have suggested that. "especially since my mother scolded me a day about it. But I don't really see the point I mean it's only a book!"
"This book as you call it." Remus rosed his eyeborw, "it's very vaulable. It's probably one of the Black's most prized possesion. IT COST ABOUT 693 MILLION GALLONS!!"
"Wow!!" James mumered, "That can buy like 5 thousand giant mansions! I bet you can even buy a country with that kind of money!"
"Oh my!" Peter said.
"May I please continue?" Remus asked, "The question now is who owns this book? Someone must have left it here. Someone apparently rich enough to care about this amount of money."
"Oh, maybe it's Lily's. Maybe she's like loaded!" James dreamed.
"Impossible, the book is spelled for purebloods only."Remus replied destoring James' little happy bubble.
"Then how come you can hold it?" Sirius is curios.
"I'm actually surprised at that too. But then again, I am actually pureblooded, just the fact that I have wolf blood in me probably doesn't count…" Remus replied
"Have you guys seen a book on the table?" Lily calle dout from the doorway. She looked out of breathe.
"Oh yeah, Mooney has it!" James said eagerly to be help of Lily Evens. "Ow!" he cried as Remus kicked him.
"I wasn't talking to you." Lily turned to Remus and asked: "Do you have the book?" Her voice changed dramtically from being icy cold to warm yet poliet.
James doesn't seemed to have noticed the difference in his daze.
Sirius instead had, he nugged Remus in his ribs, "Someone's got a little admire!" with a wide grin on his face and a wink a Lily. She blushed deeply at the comment.
"Shut up! You know very well that's not true, so stop teasing her!" Dove saide icly as she stepped cooly into the common room like she owns it. Which there's a huge chance she might have if she were worn a couple centries back.
"Dove!" Lily called out, "Oh, you're okay! I was sooo worried! Sirius was just joking and what's so special about that book? You never care much books in the first place."
"Oh, this book is no ordinary book!" Remus commented, causeing Lily to blush lightly again, since it clearly reminded her of what Sirius had just said.
"It's worth about 693 million gallons." James added.
"THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE MILLION GALLONS! Are you sure?!"Lily asked, at her haste, she forgot she was ignoring James.
"And there's only three existing books, according to Mooney."Concluded Sirius. "The Black's have one, the Royal Family have one, and the last one is lost."
Everyone turned to look at Dove, "What?" she said innocently.
Saddly, everyone here has known her long enough to tell that was a fake sort of innocence.
"How did you get this book? Dove?" Remus pronouced slowly like he was speaking too a child. " A book that worth about 697 million gallons?"
"um…." Dove said calmly, cooly. Unfortuntly that's not how she was inside. ' Holy Crap!'
"Yes?" Lily urged, and everyone seemed to lean in toward her.
"Um… Whar? What are you asking me?" Dove replied nervously.
'How did you get that book?" Sirius reminded her impatiently.
"You dare talk to me! You insensitive bastard! Haven't anyone ever told you to mind your minner? Haven't your mother ever taught you how to treat a lady? And Black's supposed to be one of the most ancient pureblood families! Surely they must have taught you that much! No wonder you were disowned. Look at you would any Black behave the way you do?!" Dove quickly found a way to escape the glares. Even if it meant hurting Sirius. 'he'll forgive me in time…'
'and I was beganing to think that she was cute? I'm going insane, how stupid can I be?' Sirius thought. Her comment hurted her a lot! He's always been sensitive about his family, and it just hurt;s more since it's coming from her…
"How would you know? You aren't a Black! Your not even born into a pureblooded family!"Sirius was angry; he didn't care if what he was saying wasn't true. He just wanted to hurt her as she had hurt him. "I'm better off without the Blacks! Who needs those pureblooded asses!"
Lily gaped at Sirius.
"Well, sorry to infect those words on your innocent ears! Though I bet your just acting. Anyone known her for as long as you did probably heard her say it very often!" Pointing at Dove, Sirius replied to Lily.
"Excuse me?!" Dove has never, and will never take this sort of crap, especially from Sirius.
Lily gaped again.
"Sirius! Mate, you've got to cut it ouy! My sweet Lily flower here isn't used to your rough ways." James warned. "come here, my sweet pea!" he said trying to pull Lily near him.
Lily was too stunned to talk, but appearently not too stunned to push James away. "Don't touch me!"
"OH! I speak up for you, and this is how you treat me?" James acted hurt, thinking that it would make him look cute. BOY, was he wrong!
"Oh, you think you're all that, DON'T YOU! You have such a big head! You're so annoying!" Lily replied outragously.
"Hate means love, the more you say you hate me, the more I know you love me." James said cockily.
"Umm, Prongs I suggest you stop that…" Remus said, eyeing the fuming Lily, eho happened to be searching for something hard. However, since it's only the first day back, the only thing in the room are chairs, tables ans a book.
'A book, there in Remus' hand.' Lily's mind registered the thought and grabbed the book. She had planned to start hiting James on the head with it, hoping it would somehow defeat his ego a bit. Unfortuntly, as soon as her fingers curled around the binding of the book, her legs went weak. The book dropped on the floor with a clunk and Lily followed in suit, except to be caught but James.
"Let go of me!" Lily murmured annoyed, yet slightly flushed. She tried to push James away, however because of the spell on the book, she's still very lightheaded. Falling back into James arms. Lily blushed deeply; she could tell James to let go to her embrassment, since she would just fall on to the floor. Instead, she called to Remus, since he was next to her. "Remus, help me to the couches please"she paused, and reluctantly murmured; "and Thank-you….Potter."
James looks like he had grown wing and flew to heaven!! He had innocent grin on his face and continued to stare at Lily. Lily on the other hand continued to blush and looked away from him. Remus stood up and helpped Lily to the couch; chuckling lightly as he went. Sirius just burst out in a bark-like laugh. Grinning widely like a dog, he walked over to James and smacked him on the head.
"Ouch!" James cried, waking up from his daze.
"Sorry mate, couldn't help myself. Especially since you're getting all the attention, espically from all the ladies." Sirius apologized, not sorry at all.
"Sirius!" James screamed at him. "Couldn't you have just let me be!! I was having such happy thoughts!"
"hopefully, not perverted thoughts!" commented Dove. James blushed and everyone laughed.
"Ewwww!" Sirius exclaimed, "now, you've got perverted images of Lily going though my head!"
Now it's Lily's turn to blush, while James smacked Sirius on the head.
Remus, Sirius and Peter all laughed and teased them some more, though I doubt that Peter really know what was going on…
Dove laughed too, but mostly faking while she took glances at the book laying on the floore.
Sirius noticed of-course, he's always aware of his surrounding having grown up with the family of Black, he was trained.
Since no one was paying attention to Dove, she quickly bent down to picked up the book and silently ran up the stairs to the girls' dorms. No one was paying attention, except to Sirius but he kept this little movement to himself. He just watched her, while a little mischieveous grin played across his lips. Planing, wondering how he was going to use this little bit of information to his adventatge. He was also curious of how she came to own this perticular book.
Dove resumed her spot and commented; "I'm hungry, leave the love birds be. Let's go down for breakfast, I don't want to be late and not get my schedule."
The rest of them floowed her lead down to the Great Hall, completely forgetting about the book…except for Sirius. Who grinned amusingly as he followed them.
P.S.- for those who are wondering, this story takes place in their 6th year!!
